The Calhoun Monument.

Harper's Weekly, of the 18th inst, has
a picture of the massive and costly mon
ument to be erected in Charleston, on
the 10Th of April, to The memory of
fourteen feet, to rests on a pedestal of
Carolina granite, on the sides of which
are four allegorical figures, representing
Truth, Justice, Constitution, and His
tory. The contract was awarded to Mr..
Albert E. Harnisch, Rome, for the SUM
of $4,000. The dedication oration,
when the monument is unveiled, will be
delivered by the Hon. L. Q. G. Lamar.
The first organized effort for the raising
of funds for this monument was on JAN
uary %, 1854, when eleven ladies formed
an associa ton. Collections continued
until the war, when the fund amounted
to $50 900, invested in good securities.
By the zeal, intelligence and enthusias-
tic fidelity of Mrs. NJ. A. Snowden,
Treasurer of the Association, not only
was the fund saved, but when her books
were examined in 1880, it was found
that the market value of the securities
then on hand was S54, 19477; and vel
might the committee say, that the 'sav
ing OF a trust fund under such circum
stances was unparalleled and almos
marvellous On the night of the burn

had gone to that city from Charleston

Approval of Bills in Vacation.

The New York Herald failed to am
swer the suggestion that the President
has power to approve bills in vacation.
This is its attempt to do 50.
Some Jackson Miss lawyers, includ- |
ing the Attorney General of the State,
yesterday wired their opinion to Secre-
tary Lamar that the President has the
power to sign the River and Harbor
bill. In support of their view they
allege that the Constitution of New
4orK is identical with that of the
United States on this point. and that
the New York Court of Appeals has
held that the Governor has power to
sign bills after adjournment of the Leg
islature IN an opinion which has been
cited with approval by the United States
Supreme Court
This would be important if the Jack
son lawyers were right But instead of
the two Constitutions being identical on
this point they are radically different.
Here is the provision in the Federal
Constitution;
Il any bill shall not be returned by the
President within ten DAYS fSundays ex-
5eptedl after it shall havl been presented
TO him, the same shall b. a law ia like
man a. if he had : gned il. unless the
Congress, by theis adjoufnmeui, prevent
return, IN which case il shall not b. a
Law.
The Constitution of New York reads
as follows:
If any bin shall not be returned by the
/ Cove nor within ten days (sundaxs ex
/ -. %. = 4. III l..
10 him, the same shall be law In ike
manner as il he had signed il, unless the
Legislature shall, by their adj djournmeni,
| prevent its return in which case il sha i
| not become Jaw without the approval OF
| The Governor. No bill shall become a law
afier the final adjournment Of the Legisla-
'ure unless approved by the Governor
within thirty days after such adjournment.
From this comparison it will be seen
that the New York Constitution ex-
pressly authorizes the Governor to sign
bills after the adjournment of the Leg
lslature, while such authority is not ex.
pressly conferred upon the President by
the Federal Constitution.
The Herald correctly quotes the Con
stitution of the United States; but the
words of the Constitution of New YorE
on which it relies to make manifest tn,
radical difference" were added by
amendment which took effect January
l, 1875. From 1916 until this amend
ment was made the Constitution of New
York and of the United States were
identical ON this point" Hough'i
American Constitutions, Vol. II, p. so
The New York case which maintain
the power of approval in vacation Peo
pie q. Bo1oen, q \. " upheld an Ac
of the Legislature of 1855, approved
four days after its adjournment. Hac
the clause of the Constitution of New
York quoted by the Herald been then il
force, the question of the Governor
power to approve that Act could no
have arisen.
This now celebrated New York cast
having been cited with approval by tn,
Supreme Court of the United States
was rightly relied on by the friends O
the Rivers and Harbors bill who main
tanned the power of approval after tn,
adjournment of Congress.

Ak unusually important election for
Representative in Congress will be held
in Rhode Island, April 6. The Repub-
licaus control nineteen State delegations
in the Congressional House of Represen-
tatives, and the Democrats seventeen.
New Hampshire is evenly divided, and
Rhode Island has one Republican in the
House If the vacant district, carried
by Democrat at the last election,
should again elect Democrat, then that
State would also be tie, and the vote
would remain 10 to II, neither party
having majority of all. If the Repub-
lieans should succeed they will have %
States to II, clear majority. The Fif
tieth Congress will have to count the

Ship Island Quarantine.

The efforts which were made at the
late session of Congress to remove the
quarantine station from Ship Island to
some other place more remote from the
Gulf Coast, tailed; but not for want of
diligence on The part of the members
who had the matter in charge. Bills
were introduced by Mr. Walthall in the
Senate and Mr.. Van Eaton in the House,
authorizing its removal. The Senate
bill passed. 1t was reported fayorably
by the House Committee, and took its
place on the calendar with so many
ahead Of it entitled to consideration that
it was never reached and the earnest
endeavor of Mr.. Van Eaton to have it
put on its passage by unanimous con-

show that our immediate Representative
was also alive to the Importance of the
measure. He succeeded in obtaining

There is some feeling of resentment
by planters of the Delta country against
those of the hill counties because of
their opposition to the bringing away
of their negro labor to this section. A
sense of fairness, if not justice, impels
Us to remind our people that our neigh
bors in the uplands are pursuing quite
a similar course to that witnessed here
in the time of the Kansas movement.
Their statements and defense is materi-
ally like that we then expressed; that
they will not resist voluntary indi-
viduai desire for change of location,
but will not permit a Wholesale entiee-
ment of their labor by exaggerated and
misleading representations. We are not
claiming that their position is wise or
just. But it is natural and paralleled
by acts of those who now exclaim against
it. If their course is arbitrary and
extreme, there are few of our readers
but can sympathizs with their feeling;
who have not at some time experienced
the resentment and irritation 0ccasioned
BY loss of plantation labor at this sea
son Of the year. Let US be charitable.

ter Against the Cars Life.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.-The
police authorities now believe that the
originator of the plot to blow up the
Car on the 18th instant was NJ.
Degaieff, the famous Nihilist conspirator
who planned and assisted in the murder
of Lieutenant Colonel Sudekin, Chief Of
Police, and one of his staff nearly three
years ago. Degaieff, alias Jablonski, has
not yet been arrested. Russian detectives
have been shadowing him off and on
ever since his escape six months ago
from Siberia where he had been SEN
fenced for life. While Degaieff was in
Switzerland and England recently they
made strenuous efforts to have him ex-
tradited, but failed owing to there being
no agreement covering his case. He first
came prominently into notice by his con-
nection with the murder of General
Steinokoff at Odessa.
